Checkout modifications
you want to modify the Tickera (or Bridge for WooCommerce) checkout in some specific way — adding fields, changing labels, applying validation, customizing post-purchase behaviour — and need the index of available recipes.
What’s in this section
Each recipe below tackles a specific checkout customization. Most are small code snippets you drop into your child theme’s functions.php (or a custom plugin); a few involve installing a free add-on plugin we provide. Apply only the ones you need.
Restricting who can buy
- One ticket per registered user — limit each user to one ticket per event. For membership events, fair allocation, anti-scalping.
- Date-of-birth verification per ticket type — capture and validate buyer age. For 18+/21+ events.
- Prevent same email in the owner info — block buyers reusing one email across multiple attendees in the same order.
Pricing & fees
- Zero fees on 100% discount codes — stop a \$0.30 processor fee being added when a 100%-off code zeroes the total.
- Show fractional numbers in prices — force \$100.00 display instead of \$100.
- Add another fixed fee on the checkout — service/booking/sponsor surcharge.
- Different fees based on payment gateway — surcharge on PayPal but not Stripe (or vice versa).
Buyer-facing UX
- Custom receipts — branded post-purchase receipt with your details.
- Empty cart button — let buyers wipe the cart in one click.
- Customers accessing previous orders — surface order history on the My Account page.
Building your own
If you need a checkout modification that’s not in the list above, write a small custom plugin (or child-theme functions.php snippet) using Tickera’s hooks and filters. The recipes here all use the same pattern — they’re examples you can copy and adapt.
